| Wilson Audio Haters My opinion isn't more valuable than anyone else, but I have owned both Wilson Audio(WA) and currently have Monitor Audio(MA) PL500 speakers. Although with different components, I've been able to compare WA Sophia 2's, 3's, and Sashas to MA PL500's... | |
| Wilson Audio Haters The funny thing is many people on Audiogon are like bo, "opinionated ". No everyone doesn't write like bo or talk about 2d vs 3d, but many, many people are just as passionate about their preferences. | |
| Center channel questions I was in a similar situation...Initially I purchased a AVR to drive my center channel, but ended up purchasing rears. I use my preamp’s HT bypass when l’m watching television or movies. The AVR is turned off when I’m listening to 2-channel. Some w... | |

| Wilson Audio Haters wspohn,I've seen the same statement several times, "Funny that most people that denigrate the Wilson speakers have never heard them - probably reacting to a company making speakers they can't afford?" I've owned several Wilson speakers. In hinds... | |

| Need Help with Subwoofer Choice After owning a Martin Logan Depth I(years ago), SVS SB13, SVS PB2000, and most recently an SVS SB16 Ultra I returned to a JL Audio F110v2. I will add a second F110v2, but even one has added to my musical enjoyment. My room is 20’x26’. I find JL Au... | |

| ROI. Where is money better spent? Preamp or DAC with preamp functionality | |
| Wilson Audio Haters The other thing is we aren't listening to an individual component. We are listening to a system, which includes the room. | |
| Wilson Audio Haters shadorne,No absolutes in Audio, only preferences. That being said, I’ve owned Wilson Audio Sophia 2’s, 3s, and Sashas. The 2’s developed a very long crack and were replaced with Wilson with Sophia 3s for a nominal cost. I submit Wilson has outstan... | |
| Evolution Acoustics MM2/MM3 I was in the same position a few months ago with Aerial 7Ts. I have a relatively large room and I wanted speakers with a bigger sound, more dynamic, but still imaged well and disappeared. I changed to Monitor Audio PL500's and couldn't be happier.... | |
| Dynaudio Contour - anyone heard the new (Oct 2016) models yet? Yes, I have a pair of the new Contour 20's. I use them as rear surrounds in my system. |
